Request Sense
224 SL150 Interface Reference Manual Julyl 2017
Not Ready, Logical Unit Offline
This sense data indicates that the library is offline and cannot process the command.
Not Ready, Maintenance Mode
The library was placed in maintenance mode from the operator panel or user
interface.
Not Ready, Cleaning Cartridge Installed
The library is performing an Auto Clean function on the data transfer element (tape
drive) requested.
Note – While the cleaning cartridge remains in the drive, the library processes host
commands normally. If a host requests a dismount from the drive being cleaned, then
the library rejects the command and sends the Not Ready sense key (02), with
ASC 30h and ASCQ 03 (Cleaning Cartridge Installed).
The host receives the dismount error for the duration of the cleaning time. Cleaning
times vary, depending on the type of drive, the cleaning cartridge, robotic times, and
potential retry operations. The tape is good for 20 uses. Each time you use it takes
longer than the last time because the operation goes farther on the tape cartridge. The
longest cycle, cleaning cycle (20), takes approximately 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
Not Ready, Mailslot Open
The library detected that the mailslot is open and a SCSI command was issued to
access the mailslot.
Medium Errors Sense Key Codes
The library generates this error when a SCSI Move command is terminated with a
non-recovered error condition that may have been caused by a flaw in the medium
or an error in the recorded data.
Medium Error, Cleaning Cartridge Expired
The library returns this error when a SCSI Move to a drive is requested, and the
source cartridge is an expired cleaning cartridge.
